Hi there sweetie . . . I have never tried frying bananas, although I have heard they are delicious. The milk shake sounds yummy, too.Thanks for sending along some more great ideas. They have so much flavor in them when they reach this almost gone stage of life :) We certainly don't want to waste them :)

Bananas, the ultimate, ready wrapped convenience food, love 'em! I always freeze over ripe bananas ready for banana soft scoop (healthier than ice cream) or for banana bread, but this recipe sounds great. At the moment I am into sweetcorn savoury muffins, can't make enough of them xxx

Hi Fran, I am a muffin lover, especially crunchy and savory. When my daughter was young I used to half bananas , insert a pop-sickle stick, dip the banana in yogurt, then roll it in cereal and freeze. They make great healthy snacks and replace ice cream bars :)

Mmmm, looking delicious there, Connie! I think bananas should always be consumed when a little overripe - before they get that cotton-woolley texture. The are so much sweeter than their totally unblemished cousins! As Fran above, I would normally make banana bread (never tried freezing them, must give it a go.) but muffins sound pretty good too! Lx

Hi Lynne, When our daughter was young I used to half bananas , insert a pop-sickle stick, dip the banana in yogurt, then roll it in cereal and freeze. They make great healthy snacks and replace ice cream bars :) I haven't made these in years and I just think that I should try this again . . . Steve and I could both use an ice cream substitute, LOL

You left such sweet words on my last post, but when I went to reply, it said that the comment came form a know site that was used to steal identification. So, I am thanking you here for your sweet words. I don't know what's up, but I know that there are so many hackers out there.

Hi Carol, you know I worry so much about hackers, and someone getting into my blog and messing it up. I love my little space here in blog-land and would be heartbroken if it were to get spoiled, or that I would carry anything to anyone else blog. If you got a message like that, well you were wise to not reply. I hope that it does continue to pop up.

About Me

Hi, my name is Connie and I’m so pleased that you’ve found my blog. I'm a woman of simple pleasures. Like John Denver, "Sunshine makes me happy!" and other things that make me happy are my husband of 41 years, my lovely daughter and my two delightful granddaughters. I have a passion for life and all things creative. Three years ago we purchased a small country home on an acre of land, which for us is huge. Every day brings with it a new adventure. The fixing up, of our little fixer-upper and the mowing of that huge yard is going to give me the exercise and creative projects that I need to stay forever young. I am enjoying my journey, life is good!
